From the moment that Kenny Dorham picked a 25-year oldJoe Hendersonout of obscurity in 1962 and had him join his band, it was obvious that Henderson was a very powerful force, a young giant who sent shock waves through the jazz world. Henderson, who had a very distinctive sound from the start along with the ability to play both inside and outside, sounded very much at home whether playing bebop or free improvisations. He also proved to be a perfect musical brother for Dorham. HendersonsIn N Outalbum finds the two horns expressing similar ideas, blending together perfectly, and creating memorable music that is beyond description. Every note that Dorham and Henderson play on this classic LP is passionate, intense and meaningful. While most young musicians would be in awe if teamed with Dorham,McCoy Tyner, Richard DavisandElvin Jones, Henderson not only had no difficulty playing with those masters, but he raised the intensity level and forced them to keep up with him.The brilliant album cover design byReid Milesis a quintessential example of the bold typography that made his style so influential.
